Дни революции (февраль-май 1917 г.) в Петрограде. 
Из коллекции Ива́н О́сипович Дик

Here I present a series of photographs taken in Petrograd, (Leningrad, St Petersburg) in 1917. The photographs were taken between February & May 1 and show a fascinating glimpse at the city in crisis. 

The photographs were in the collection of Ion Dic-Dicescu, Ива́н О́сипович Дик; a Romanian born socialist journalist and officer and later Bolshevik activist. During the Russian Civil War he held command positions with the Red Army.
On April 5, 1937, during the Great Purge, Dicescu was arrested and in January 1938 was found guilty of espinage and executed.
